Sea Shepherd crew playing Minke Rescue

Here’s some images of the crew of the Steve Irwin – Sea Shepherds main vessel – playing Minke Rescue. Just back from months of disrupting whalers as part of Operation Divine Wind, the crew were eager to hear about and play Minke Rescue. Not only did I get the joy of watching people on the front-line playing my little game (see images below)… but also got a great and informative tour of the ship to boot.

Building an iPhone App for charity

Put the ‘Fun’ back into ‘Fundraising’.

Like many people, I wanted to raise awareness and funds for causes that I was passionate about. However, I’m not noted for my cake making, t-shirt designing or car washing – nor do I have a sufficiently cashed-up network of friends to host a (successful) charity ball. So what to do?

In early 2010, after acquiring my first iPhone, I soon discovered the power of Apps… how regularly I was willing to spend small amounts of money – and how addictive the very best Apps can be.
